An enchanted place where massive stone sculptures seem to come to life and tell stories full of magic…this is the Park of the Monsters also known as Sacro Bosco ("sacred wood"). Located in Bomarzo, about 40 miles north of Rome, the park is populated by gigantic mythological sculptures, leaning buildings, enigmatic obelisks and bizarre beings that leave anyone who observes them for the first time speechless.

As for why this majestic work was created, many believe it was commissioned in grief after the death of the noble patron's beloved wife Giulia Farnese. In one of the inscriptions in the park reads the phrase Sol per sfogare il core ("just to set the heart free"), which would seem to endorse this hypothesis. In this case, the disturbing sculptures are interpreted as expressions of pain and inner torment.

Sadly abandoned and forgotten for a long time, the park was then restored in the second half of the 20th century by the Bettini family and opened to the public. This Park of Monsters has influenced many artists, writers and filmmakers over the years; among these is Salvador Dalí, who fell in love with it and made a film and a painting inspired by it in the 1950s. One of the park's sculptures bears the inscription "You who enter here, consider everything you see, and then tell me if so many wonders are made for deception or for art." This sentence sums up the charm of a place where art and imagination intertwine, creating a timeless adventure for young and old, and a unique experience for visitors.

The kiss that shocked a lot of people, being in the PILOT TRAILER of all things. I hope we'll see more of where that came from.
These two have great chemistry from what we've seen, so I'm hesitantly hopeful.

A large, black flower bud rose from the ground, slowly opening up to reveal a young woman who slowly stepped down. The edges of her long, black gown seeming to slither across the grass as she moved forward and placed a hand upon a sleeping dragon's snout, rousing it from its slumber.
Toxic green eyes opened slowly, staring at the woman before its pupils slowly dilated. Letting out a slight purr it rubbed against the woman's hand, who only let out a smile as she loving rubbed the dragon's snout.
"There're intruders within our forest." She whispered, pressing her forehead against the dragon's face, eyes downcast. "They have someone with them, who can control plants as well. At my level or, perhaps, even higher."
The woman sighed and the dragon rubbed its snout against her, causing her to let out a small chuckle. "I know, I know. Not my fault." She murmured, staring at its glowing white scales that emitted a soft light even in the sunlight. "Just, please. Do not try to take them on yourself."
A soft growl interrupted her, and the woman huffed. "Yes, yes. I know you're strong. But we can't risk losing you." She paused for a moment, staring into the dragon's eyes with a half-lidded gaze before adding on quietly. "You already know what happened to Vlad."
The dragon grew quiet, contemplating.
Not for the first time, Sam noted how lucky Vlad was, to have gained the revival ability of the Pheonix after becoming.
Otherwise...
"We don't need you grabbing their attention again." Her gaze grew steely, staring down and holding the gaze of the mighty beast before her. "It was only a stroke of luck, even with his brilliance, that Vlad managed to come back. You can't revive yourself, so don't take risks you can avoid."
This time it was the dragon's turn to huff, gaze trailing off to stare at a certain scar on its body before turning away. Sam caught his stare, but chose not to say anything as she stepped away.
"Stay here. I'll deal with them." She turned away, sprouting an open flower bud that she soon stepped onto. She turned slightly, staring at the dragon as its eyes slipped shut and quickly slipping back into slumber.
She looked away with a determined expression, petals closing around her as the flower sank into the ground.
They already lost Danny once, they couldn't lose him again.

I love Dragon creatures and Sea Serpents count, so I immediately fell in love when I saw and learned abt him! My little shy baby
My other favorite other than our dear Rambley is Lloyd, a stark contrast from Finley's personality but I too love him!

A thing I've never heard talked about but is so down right poetic as a wyllstarion concept is that the park right outside Cazadors was the one Wyll played in pretending to kill monsters when he was a kid...
